Americans Navigatino the Rivers or China.
n-We perceive by a letter from Canton that a com
pany ol Americans are about building a couple of
stcamera to ruu on ths rivers ol Uims. lh;s is a
new idea, and something that must bo productive
of great good. Ths Chinese aro a commercial peo
ple anq are much given to trade, cheating tnd oth
er civilizing habits, Tho rivers of China are pe
culiarly adapted to steamboat navigation, and then
look at her canals, one of which is nearly is wide
is the Hudson, and as long aa tin Ohio river. The
Empin is full of people, full of towns, and full of
fabrics. These must make steamboating unusual,
ly profitable. We hare an idea that the Amcri.
pan Steamboat Company will make a fortune.
They have no competitors, and for a long number
of years will nave a monopoly or the bus mess.
